City archive - archive library

The archive library comprises four independent libraries and, with 23,000 volumes, forms an extensive collection on urban and regional history, the history of the Reformation and the Peasants' War as well as the history of law and medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries. The library is indexed by an alphabetical and a subject catalog as well as two special bibliographies. The book collections can only be consulted in the reading room; they cannot be borrowed. The archive library is not connected to the interlibrary loan system.

Guided tours of the Imperial City Archive take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 11:00 am. The tour lasts approx. 30 minutes and costs 5 euros per person. There is a special exhibition with finds that came to light during the renovation work.

The guided tours take place during the main tourist season from Easter to the end of October.

Interested groups can also arrange individual appointments for guided tours. Contact: Tourist Information Mühlhausen, Ratsstraße 20, Tel. 03601 404770. e-mail: service@touristinfo-muehlhausen.de.
